DTM Global is launched at ITEC 2010 to reflect the Company's strong customer focus, broad international customer base and wider portfolio of products and services. The Company continues to grow rapidly as Armed Forces increasingly recognise the significance of DTM networked training tools.

DTM and a major U.S. defense company unveil an integrated ship's bridge and engine room trainer at Maritime 2010 in Sydney Australia. The integrated trainer offers independent or simultaneous training of bridge and engine room crews and is particularly effective in training the bridge team to respond to simulated machinery breakdowns.

UK based DTM Global, a global player in defence simulation training, has won a major contract with the Royal Navy of Oman to supply three new state-of-the-art training tools.

The contract includes a bridge trainer for interactive training in ship handling and bridge procedures; a radio communications trainer to sharpen communication skills and a recognition training system to maximise accuracy in combat identification.

The Fleetman Bridge Trainer, with a 270° field of view, simulated bridge and engine controls, instrument panels and electronic chart display, can simulate a range of routine operations, from the simple to highly complex and potentially dangerous situations. Training exercises can include ships, submarines and aircraft in different ports and at sea, with accurate depth contours and differing weather conditions. An integrated Radio Communications Trainer sharpens communication skills and improves operational safety.

The Insight recognition trainer uses high-resolution 3-dimensional images to help users identify the origins of a particular vehicle, ship or aircraft thereby reducing the risk of friendly fire in combat. The program is already in use by the US Air Force and 23 other Armed Forces globally.

Tim Dewing, Chief Executive of DTM Global, said: “There are few companies that offer such capability in a portable and highly flexible PC format. The Royal Navy of Oman will quickly reap the benefits of these highly effective training tools. DTM Global has grown rapidly as more and more Armed Forces recognise the significance of our networked training tools. Our quality of product, combined with our quality of service, is what really makes us stand out”.

A UK based company has won two major contracts with the Royal Saudi Air Force and Navy. These are the latest in a series of successful contract wins for DTM Global, which has become a global player in defense simulation training.

The Royal Saudi Air Force is to use DTM Global’s ‘Insight’ recognition training system to maximise accuracy in combat identification. The King Fahad Naval Academy in Jubail is to use DTM Global’s Fleetman Bridge Trainer for interactive training in ship handling and bridge procedures.

Both of these contracts were awarded to DTM Global in conjunction with its Saudi partner, Rahaden Trading.

The ‘Insight’ programme uses high-resolution 3-dimensional images to help users identify the origins of a particular vehicle, ship or aircraft, thereby reducing the risk of friendly fire in combat. The program is already in use by the US Air Force and 23 other Armed Forces globally.

An integrated Radio Communications Trainer sharpens communication skills and improves operational safety.

Tim Dewing, Chief Executive of DTM Global, said: “We are delighted to have won these prestigious contracts in Saudi Arabia. There are few companies that offer such capability in a portable and highly flexible PC format. We have seen DTM Global grow rapidly as more and more Armed Forces recognise the significance of our networked training tools. Our quality of product, combined with our quality of service, is what really makes us stand out.”

Devon-based software company DTM Global has been awarded a contract to supply The Royal Guard Oman with software specifically designed to reduce the risk of ‘friendly fire’ in battle.

DTM Global will provide The Royal Guard with the Combat ID Recognition software ‘Insight’, with delivery taking place over the summer. The contract win comes after two successful deals with the Royal Saudi Air Force and Royal Saudi Navy in the last two months, the combination of which has doubled DTM Global’s turnover in the last year.

DTM Global, in Totnes, supplies off-the-shelf and bespoke simulation, training and cutting edge real-time 3D visualisation software products, such as Fleetman and Insight, as well as fully integrated ‘turnkey’ simulation solutions to customers across the world.

Insight is a computer-based recognition training system which provides interactive, multi-spectral visualisation of air, land and sea platforms. Designed to reduce the risk of ‘friendly fire’ or fracticide in battle, Insight formed the basis of NATO’s prototype Combat Identification Training System (NATO CITS), produced in 22 languages including Arabic.

DTM Global also supplies the Fleetman family of naval training systems, a turnkey bridge trainer, and a naval tactical communications trainer. Around 90% of the company’s business is for export with customers in the USA, Australia, Germany, and the Middle East, as well as the Royal Navy and British Army.

Chris Notman-Smith, International Sales & Marketing Manager for DTM Global, said: “This contract win further cements our position as a key supplier of bespoke training, simulation and visualisation products, which can make a real difference to human safety on the ground. We look forward to working with further military organisations in the future.”

Devon software company DTM Global has won a second contract with the Royal Saudi Navy in as many weeks.

News of the deal, made in partnership with Rahaden Trading Est, comes just one week after the Royal Saudi Air Force bought into DTM Global’s Electronic Warfare training solution (DEWET*).

DTM Global will now also provide its Fleetman Naval Simulator, a 3D visualisation product, for the Royal Saudi Navy’s Technical Institute for Naval Studies (TINS) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

This upturn in sales coincides with a further round of funding from the Finance South West Growth Fund. Finance South West, which closed for new applications for investment on 31st December 2008, is an £18 million investment fund that provided commercial finance from £10,000 up to £1 million for buying, selling, starting or growing a business in the Objective Two area of the South West. Finance South West invested over £15million in over 100 businesses in the region.

Robert Kathro of DTM Global said: “This further order from the USAF is a real testament to the quality of and demand for our products. Investment from Finance South West has enabled us to grow our business at a faster rate than would otherwise have been possible. The team looks forward to continuing to deliver an expanding range of innovative simulation and training products and services to both new and existing customers.

Chris Burt, Business Fund Manager for Finance South West, said: “We were happy to increase our investment in such a forward-thinking and successful company as DTM Global, which has an increasingly impressive client base, and we look forward to playing a significant part in its continuing success.”

The Royal New Zealand Navy has placed an order with Totnes software company DTM Global following a six month tender and evaluation process.

The deal comes just weeks after the US Air Force placed a second order with DTM Global after using ‘Insight’, an innovative product aimed at reducing the risk of ‘friendly fire’ in battle.
